What our experts say...
I love the bottle design, glass is a great alternative for packaging. This product looked and felt luxe. I love the pump action as it makes it easier to apply and the scent of this oil is amazing. The oil absorbed into the skin really well, I wish I knew about this product when I was pregnant. I love that they strive to create fair conditions for the people who work with the earth and harvest the plants, and being a farmer, I also appreciate that they support Carbon8 to help transition Aussie farmers to regenerative agriculture and support them to rebuild the carbon (organic matter) in their soil from 1% to 8%.

I really loved the glass pump packaging of the Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil. The oil itself spreads easily over the skin and absorbs quickly, making it ideal for a mum in a rush. I find the Weleda medicinal plant garden absolutely fascinating and such a wonderful initiative to not only supply their own ingredients, but also create a mini-ecosystem that supports native wildlife.

The scent and the slip make it a real pleasure to use. It feels immediately nurturing and soothing on stretched skin. And it very quickly became a ritual for me. It’s reliably broad-ranging, sophisticated and thorough. Due to the global nature of the brand, it’s got a very wide focus, rather than anything too locally driven.

I used this beautiful oil through both my pregnancies. I loved not only the smell of the oils, but how nourishing they were for my skin. I must admit, I didn’t get stretch marks except on my breasts which is the one place I didn’t think to oil. I found it took away some of the tightness I felt over my skin and also absorbed well so that I didn’t have to worry when getting dressed straight after.
